WITHDRAWAL ON FORM RW OF
FORM 8-A12B FILED ON AUGUST 22, 1997

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Form 8-A12B filed on August 22, 1997 on behalf
of PAULA Financial (the "Company"), and assigned File Number 001-13307 and
Accession Number 0000912057-97-028914.
Please withdraw the above-referenced Form 8-A12B. The filing was made
with the incorrect tag, and should have been on Form 8-A12G. We have been
advised by the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
reviewer to withdraw the Form 8-A12B and refile on Form 8-A12G. The Form 8-A12G
is being filed concurrently with the Commission.
